Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 912

"Miss Endora might be hurt, you should probably check on her, Mr. Doonan," his assistant said, panting with sweat.

Parker's eyes, deep as the ocean at dusk, seemingly cold yet betraying ripples of concern, murmured in a hoarse voice, "She's pregnant..."

But the thought of the 'bastard' child darkened his expression instantly.

Why the hell should he care about such a woman?

Yet, his long legs carried him out of the car and into the grand lobby of Doonan Hospital, his brow furrowed in question to his assistant, "Did Tiana suddenly return to Banyan City for a reason? Did you find out anything?"

"I didn't have the chance, Mr. Doonan. Plus, you had previously instructed us not to bring up anything related to Tiana..."

Parker's gaze turned sharp, "I said not to bring it up, not to sew your mouths shut! Dumb as a doornail."

"..." His assistant was left speechless.

You say one thing but mean another, how is anyone supposed to read your mind?

To mention or not to mention?

"I'll find out right away why Tiana returned to Banyan City. But you've been drowning your sorrows in booze these past few days, picking fights with the old man, passed out drunk every night. We didn't dare disturb you over trivial matters." Parker paused, his captivating eyes dropping slightly before finally saying, "Her matters are never trivial."

"..." His assistant sneaked a glance at his handsome features, noting the deep-set determination behind those spectacles.

Seems like Mr. Doonan took a real emotional hit over this Tiana situation.

Despite all the venom he spewed in front of Ashton about despising Tiana, he was just blowing off steam.

"Alright, I got it, Mr. Doonan. I'll keep a closer eye on Tiana from now on..."
